2. Score it with the real marking scheme applied — Tier-I: 0.50 mark deducted per wrong answer. Tier-II: 1 mark in Paper-I Sections I and II, 0.50 in the Computer Knowledge module.
3. Identify the weakest section and revise that first.
4. Repeat with another paper to check whether accuracy improved.

Why shift-wise papers matter

SSC runs each examination across many shifts with different papers, which is exactly why marks are normalised. Working several shifts gives a truer sense of the difficulty band than one paper.
